Sean ,
The term "wheelchair bound" is likely only appropriate if the student is tied to the wheelchair. GRIN (I also have a cartoon over my desk of a guy laying in the street with tire tracks across his chest as a man in a wheelchair goes by; the legend says, "Now THAT is a wheelchair victim!") The more appropriate terminology is "wheelchair user" or "person in a wheelchair". Once we get past the terminology, though, I LOVE the sentiment you express here.
